Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a crawler belt provided in a crawler-type work machine.
  • a crawler belt of a crawler-type work machine such as a bulldozer or a hydraulic excavator is formed by connecting a plurality of assemblies for a crawler belt in an endless state.
  • the crawler belt is wound around a drive wheel and an idler wheel that are arranged in a body frame of the crawler-type work machine with a predetermined distance therebetween.
  • Each of the crawler belt assemblies is engaged to a sprocket tooth of a drive wheel and when the drive wheel is driven, the crawler belt is moved while being supported by carrier rollers and track rollers that are supported by the body frame between the drive wheel and the idler wheel.
  • FIG. 7 of Patent Document 1 As an example of a crawler belt assembly in such a crawler belt, the crawler belt assembly disclosed in FIG. 7 of Patent Document 1 and the crawler belt assembly disclosed in FIGS. 1 to 3 of Patent Document 1 have been conventionally known.
  • two links are fixed to a surface of a track shoe that is opposite to a contact surface that contacts a ground, that is, an inner surface of the track shoe.
  • a support shaft is supported between end portions at one end of the links, and a sleeve is fixed to the other end portions of the links. End portions of the links in which the support shaft is provided are offset outward of the track shoe.
  • each of the crawler belt assemblies having the same configuration is inserted through the sleeve of an adjacent assembly so as to be rotatable. Accordingly, a plurality of assemblies are joined to each other at a same phase, that is, in a same direction so as to form a crawler belt.
  • This kind of crawler belt is referred to as an in-phase link type (offset link type).
  • first links comprising substantially flat plates are fixed to an inner surface of the track shoe so as to be parallel to each other, and support shafts are provided between end portions of the first links. Accordingly, a first assembly is formed.
  • Two second links comprising substantially flat plates are fixed to the inner surface of the track shoe so as to be parallel to each other, and sleeves are provided between end portions of the second links. Accordingly, a second assembly is formed.
  • the distance between the links of the second assembly is less than the distance between the links of the first assembly.
  • the second links of the second assembly are arranged parallel to each other at the inner side of the first links of the first assembly.
  • the sleeves of the second assembly are externally fitted to the support shafts of the first assembly so as to be rotatable. Accordingly, a plurality of first and second assemblies are joined to each other to form a crawler belt.
  • This kind of crawler belt is referred to as a parallel-link type (roller-link type).
  • the sleeve functions as a bearing member that rotatably connects the assemblies each other and also functions as a power transmission member that receives power from a sprocket of a drive wheel. Therefore, in the configuration disclosed in FIG. 7 of Patent Document 1, since the sleeves are fixed to the end portions of the links, a specific portion of an outer surface of the sleeves are worn due to sliding contact with tooth surfaces of the sprocket, and this requires a rotating operation of the sleeve with respect to the links at a certain timing. This rotating operation is referred to as bushing turn. However, the rotating operation of the sleeve that is in a fixed state is troublesome.
  • the crawler belts disclosed in Patent Document 2 or FIGS. 1 to 3 of Patent Document 1 have been conventionally proposed.
  • the sleeve that is arranged between the end portions of the links is divided into three portions. Two end portions of the sleeve are fixed to the end portions of the link and a middle portion of the sleeve is supported by the support shaft of an adjacent assembly so as to be rotatable. This reduces relative sliding of the sleeve and the sprocket when they are meshed with each other and prevents uneven wear of the sleeve.
  • the crawler belt of the parallel-link type as disclosed in FIGS. 1 to 3 of Patent Document 1 if the total number of the assemblies of the crawler belt is even, the crawler belt is formed only by the first and second assemblies.
  • the first assembly has a rectangular structure having four sides of the first links and the support shafts that are provided between the end portions of the first links, high rigidity is ensured.
  • the second assembly does not have high rigidity. Therefore, in the configuration disclosed in FIGS.
  • the size of a shaft hole for a sleeve of the second links along its axial line is set to be greater than the size of a shaft hole for a support shaft of the first links along its axial line. This increases attaching strength of the support shaft and increases the rigidity of the second assembly.

  • Patent Document 2 Japanese National Phase Laid-open Patent Publication No. 6-504747
  • the crawler belt of the parallel-link type if the total number of the assemblies of the crawler belt is odd, a crawler belt of a closed loop cannot be formed.
  • at least one third assembly of the in-phase link type is required to be arranged between the first assembly and the second assembly.
  • the third assembly has a rectangular structure having three sides of the two links and one support shaft that is fixed to end portions at one end of the links. In the rectangular structure, one side in which the sleeve is provided is dynamically open.
  • the rigidity is insufficient at an open end portion of the third link of the third assembly, that is, at an end portion where the sleeve is provided.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a crawler belt of a parallel-link type that has a third assembly of an in-phase link type between a first assembly and a second assembly and prevents the rigidity of an open end portion of the third assembly where a sleeve is provided from being insufficient.
  • the present invention provides a crawler belt for a crawler-type work machine, in which a plurality of first assemblies and second assemblies are connected alternately and a third assembly is provided between at least one pair of the first and second assemblies.
  • the first assembly has a track shoe having a contact surface that contacts a ground, first links of two parallel plates that are fixed to a surface opposite to the contact surface of the track shoe, and a support shaft that is provided between two end portions of the first links.
  • the second assembly has second links of two parallel plates that are fixed to a surface opposite to the contact surface of the track shoe, and a sleeve that is provided between two end portions of the second links.
  • the first assembly and the second assembly are arranged alternately in a state that the sleeve is externally fitted to the support shaft so as to be rotatable.
  • the third assembly has a track shoe having a contact surface that contacts the ground, third links of two plates that are offset and fixed to a surface opposite to the contact surface of the track shoe, a support shaft that is provided between end portions at one end of the third links, and a sleeve that is provided between the other end portions of the third links.
  • the sleeve of the second assembly is externally fitted to the support shaft of the third assembly so as to be rotatable
  • the sleeve of the third assembly is externally fitted to the support shaft of the first assembly so as to be rotatable
  • the crawler belt includes reinforcing means for reinforcing the third assembly.
  • the reinforcing means is formed by a grouser, which is provided on the contact surface of the track shoe and is arranged to correspond to the sleeve of the third assembly, and a reinforcing member, which is provided between the third links of the third assembly.
  • the reinforcing means reinforces the strength of the sleeve of the third assembly. Therefore, the strength of the crawler belt is prevented from being lowered even if the third assembly is arranged between the first and second assemblies.
  • the sleeve of the second assembly is movable relative to the second links, and the sleeve of the third assembly is movable relative to the third links
  • the sleeve of the second assembly can be externally fitted to the support shaft that is at the end portion of the third assembly so as to be rotatable
  • the sleeve of the third assembly can be externally fitted to the support shaft of the first assembly so as to be rotatable. This effectively prevents uneven wear of the sleeve.
